Diablo:“What’s going on with you and Maria?” I asked, looking at Sienna as I drove.It was a while past noon, and though the main intention was to leave the house for breakfast; the number of things that I had to tend to with Alonzo were countless, giving us a minor setback, which Sienna, thankfully, understood.“The fact that you would assume that something is wrong between the two of us amazes me.” She said, choosing her words carefully. I knew my sister all too well to know that she was bothered by Sienna’s presence, though the reason behind it, I didn’t know.“I am neither blind nor stupid. I tend to know my family members well enough to know when things are getting out of hand, and I know that something happened between you and her.” I said, and she hummed in response. “And that isn’t something that you intend to share, is it?”“It’s not that, Diablo. It is the fact that there is no reason behind the way that she is treating me. It is just genuine resentment from her side, one th

Sienna:“So, you genuinely weren’t allowed to do anything unless they allowed you to?” Diablo asked, and I shook my head.“Not necessarily, not everything. But there are many things where you have to ask permission to be able to do something that is out of the ordinary. And sometimes, most of the times, you are just forced to cope with so much that you are against. Relationships, falling in love, or even sparing a man a chance unless you were allowed to is not an option. They don’t allow it if you tried.” I tried explaining, and he frowned.“And you never chose to rebel?” He asked, making me laugh.“Sometimes, it is less of a headache not to rebel or turn against what is your reality. While yes, it did get annoying after a while and even lonely, but you know, when you know that your life is destined for something, and that whether or not you fall in love, you won’t be with the person you want; being smart says not to do something that would hurt you. I didn’t want to drag a man down fo

Lexi:I watched, in complete silence, as Diablo took her to the park where the two of us shared our first kiss.They just walked, and I couldn’t help but find myself tearing up as I stared at them, getting lost in my thoughts.“How the hell did they manage to escape the bomb? How is it possible that she wasn’t blown up with it? Diablo didn’t even do anything about the note? How?” I asked, pinching the bridge of my nose as I tried to connect two and two. Nothing fit in my head, and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t find the right words or excuse to what happened.“Madam Auclair, Monsieur Louis has called for you. He requests that you come back to the complex.” My driver said, reminding me of the fact that I was a married woman. A bride who was sent to her husband with no reason to live, no reason but to satisfy the man who was supposed to take her for his pleasure.“You can wait for me in the car, Gabriel, I will be there shortly.” I said, looking at the man over my shoulder. I was

Diablo:“The place is beautiful.” Sienna said, looking up at me.I smiled and though I wanted to take her hand in mine, I was sure not to. I didn’t want to send the wrong message, and I knew that she understood that part.“It’s to make up for what happened at the altar.” I said, and she frowned in confusion. “I can see your pain in your eyes despite you not talking about it, and that is why I want to make it up to you.”“Diablo, you didn’t have to…”“I did.” I said, stopping her. “You were in the same situation with me, and to make matters worse, they were your parents. Regardless of what may have happened, and regardless of you believing that they aren’t, the investigation too; I shouldn’t have blamed you for it. The pain of having to deal with even suspecting that is not one that you should have gone through, and for that, I am sorry.”She didn’t say a word for a few seconds, but when she stood on her toes and kissed my cheek, I tensed for a second, feeling the depth of the moment th

Sienna:I had to fight back the small smile that formed on my lips as I looked at my reflection in the mirror.I didn’t even know the reason behind it, but I knew one thing, it had a lot to do with the Capo dei Capi that I now called my husband.The way he spoke to me, looked at me, and even approached me was one that I couldn’t forget nor get over.His eyes on mine were enough to have me melting in his gaze, and to make matters worse, I doubted that he knew the effect that he was having on me. Even if he did, I wasn’t sure whether or not it made a difference to him.“Do you want to get something to eat? Mom said that you didn’t join them for dinner,” Diablo asked, walking inside the room. He had dropped me back to the house and went out. Whatever his reason was, I didn’t ask. I knew that unless he told me, it didn’t even concern me to do so.“I wasn’t hungry. You don’t need to worry about me eating, especially when the two of us spent most of the day out, eating, Diablo.” I teased, l

Diablo:I watched as Sienna struggled with her dress’s zipper as I walked out of the bathroom, and I couldn’t help but find myself smiling before approaching her.Her eyes meeting mine through the mirror told me that she was hesitant, but when I silently extended my hand to help her, her cheeks reddening made something inside me churn. A feeling of protectiveness that I didn’t think possible, especially not toward a woman like herself, a woman that was still my enemy’s daughter.“You look beautiful.” I said, looking at the royal blue dress that I chose for her. I would have chosen red, but it was far too attractive, and considering that I didn’t know who was coming, I would rather not risk having men staring down at her as if she was to be meat for them to devoir. I didn’t want to end up beating any of them.“Thank you,” she said, trying not t flinch as I gently brushed my finger over her lower back as I tended to the zipper. The goosebumps that rose on her skin made it all the more wo

Sienna:“Marcus, it has been a while since you’ve paid us a visit. I am curious about the reason,” Diablo asked, raising an eyebrow at the cartel. The man kept his eyes on me, and though I tried avoiding his gaze, I understood that the reason behind Maria’s satisfaction was a search that she made. The girl knew exactly who she was inviting over, and considering that Diablo wasn’t aware, it was her who made the call.“I was invited by your sister. She told me that she hasn’t seen me in the wedding, and considering the fact that our families have always been close and bound, she tried to help, I believe.” He said, and Diablo raised an eyebrow at Maria. She looked away from her brother, clearly not expecting that as a response from the cartel.“I see,” Diablo said, smiling at the man before he turned to look at me. His eyes met mine and I smiled.“I take it that you haven’t changed much, Sienna.” Marcus said, and I looked at Diablo who frowned in confusion. I took my husband’s hand in mi

Diablo:“It was Maria who called me over, Diablo.” Marcus said, and I nodded in understanding, knowing that my sister was playing a game that was ten times bigger than she was. And the problem was, I doubted that she saw or understood that part.“I know, and there is no harm for her calling you over.” I said, choosing to keep my anger at my sister to myself. I still didn’t understand what was wrong with Sienna, but seeing her reaction and my sister walking out a few seconds after she did, I knew that it was not something that she liked. “You said that you had an expansion? What are you planning on doing?”I knew to drag a few conversations, if he had an alley who was helping him, or if he had one of my partners by his side. If that wasn’t the case, then he would be dreaming about this expansion. But first, I needed to know who he was depending on. The wall that he was leaning against was going to be one that I would break. Especially considering the fact that I believe that he can oppo
